It is frustrating that things are developing so slowly at TVS and in the absence of a full understanding of the reasons, we appear to be filling this gap in time with speculation and dare I say it, a degree of negativity.TVS obviously have a plan and have committed a lot of money and resources to make sure that it succeeds - as far as you can in this very competitive industry. One way to almost guarantee that it fails is to go off ‘half-cocked’. Everybody (industry, press, customer base) will be looking for signs of old Norton and some maybe even expecting it. TVS (Norton) have to get things right from the outset or they will likely get buried and that may well mean the end-end of Norton.I’m choosing to keep an open mind and wait, remaining (very) hopeful that their plan works. In the meantime I ride my bike sparingly. It would be really interesting to know how many of our number actually have unridable 961’s because of a lack of spares availability or dealer support. Or are the vast majority doing what we bikers have always done, using our ingenuity and any and all resources available to keep our bikes on the road.Long live Norton.
